How to setup your amp for beginners. Adjust LPF, HPF, Sub sonic, gain, amplifier tune/ dial in. 

This guy takes the time to explain the reasoning for every knob, switch, outlet, inlet, and setting. Thank you Next Level for sharing your audio knowledge.

Im hearing this with my gain all the way up & his voice making my woofers hit

Most detailed explanation. I have a scar 18inch with a tuning frequency of 30hz. I did not factor that into being part of the subsonic on my amp. Rookie mistake I know but I’m glad I know now. Your explanation gave me some much better knowledge than I had. You’re videos make sense! Thank you!!

Finally someone who explains this without being an arrogant hoarder of knowledge. Thank you for being to the point and having great details of WHY you make the adjustments. Many thanks Brother!

Thanks for breaking this down. Its probably the most intimidating part to installing a system.

Thanks, man. I brought my first mono amp it's a 3k rms and I needed a better understanding of what all these options do. I needed a better explanation than just the manual lol. You made everything understandable and easy. Thank you!

I have been working on my setup for a month. Slowly piecing it together and adding components in stages. Having no idea how to do any of it I have looked at a million different resources for this information. Even the Crutchfield guys have been consulted on filters and frequency and what this all means for the performance of my system. No one has even come close to explaining this as well as you did. For the first time I actually know what I am trying to accomplish with these various dials. It may seem like common knowledge to many people but I had no idea what any of these were or how to set them up properly. This information helped me mode than you know. Thank you!

Never seen anyone explain this so thoroughly and easy to understand.

Awesome information for us bassheads. Glad you take the time to share this with us.

this Is the most in depth and simple to understand for me even though I've been making sound systems for 2 years

You are the BEST. I'm setting up my complete system from start to finish with the Valuable knowledge you share through your videos with beginners like me. THANKS !!!!

Finally!!! Thank you...not everyone wanting to add some music to their car gonna pick up $200/300 to go a distortion device...all we wanted to know was what this guy just explain...thank you it’s a great video

Man, thank you for making this video. I was about to blow my speakers. I was able to tune my amp, with your direction, and it sounds and performs great now. I'm thinking of adding more power, when I was about to go back to stock. Keep up the good work! And again, thank you.

Yeah.. I had a couple settings screwed up I'm so glad I watched this. Thanks for doing this video!

This really is the best explanation of all this. Ive been a base head for 20 years and ive had many amps and adjust and slam systems, but still didnt really understand it this well. I pretty much just turn nobs till it all sounds the best, which pretty much works and i rarely blow a sub, but this better info helps...

Love it! Dumb it down for us simpletons. Makes a whole lot of sense how he explains things. Never truly understood it before

This video is very informative. I'm in my early 20s and just getting into car audio and oldschool audio at that. Just installed an alpine cda-7894 head unit, alpine mrv-f352 5 channel amp, 4 alpine sps-500 speakers and 2 jl 10w0-4 subs. Just in the process of getting it all baseline set up to run decently and this video was perfect for it.

You should have waaaay more subscribers. The info was easy to understand and made me feel more comfortable with my system. Thank you and you gained a new subscriber.

Thank you so much. I have watched so many videos and found this to be BY FAR the best. Keep up the great content.

Thank you! I was looking for videos like this years ago,and just gave up. But recently I’ve been wanting to install a subwoofer and amp in my car,and i want to do it right this time. Thank you for teaching me about what the knobs do and how to set them!!

Thank you!!! I’ve been hearing some distortion in my sub, I’m glad I watched this video before I bottomed out my sub

Man ! You made it easy to follow more then anybody else!

Thanks for the info just starting out and wow by doing all these adjustments make so much difference THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME 👍👍

I've went through 4 f#$kin DC audio subs now and been chasing my tail as to why. Your explanation of subsonic has made a light bulb go off. Ive had mine off as I didn't know it was important. Thank you so much sir.

Bro your a champ your like the only one who’s actually took the time & went into important details an explained it now I can go re tune my amp properly

wow dude ive watched so many videos and u were able to explain it so simply and made it easy to understand.thank you for helping me out youre the best

This is by far THE BEST EXPLANATION EVER!!!!! Thank you brother👑💯🎯👑💯🎯

Straight forward and Explained quickly and well.. Great vid

Just installed my first system yesterday and tried to set it up today and it felt lacking so thank you for this I'll try it out and update.

This video helped me out a lot. Thank you. I wanted to add, I may be wrong but I think your Sub Sonic is set to 20hz, not 30. Thinking of it like a clock; 10hz=7:30pm, 20hz=9pm, 30hz=10:30pm, 40hz=12pm, 50hz=1:30pm, 60hz=3pm and 70hz=4:30pm And if I’m accurate, you have yours at 9pm, being 20hz.

This one video made more sense and most importantly, gave me more understanding then the 20+ videos I’ve previously watched.. not to discredit anyone else of course.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have watched several videos of what you have explained. Thank you., for keeping it simple for those of us that may or may not have a multi-meter at best. Thank you. ✊🏾🤙🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

You the man ! Thank you . Finally someone explaining this in a simple to understand way . Your the best, keep it up . My sound system sounds like a live concert now . Unbelievable

Great info bro. When I was younger I didn’t have money but my friends had systems. I never had one. Now I’m 40 and building the best one I can

Thanks alot man. You feed me with more crystal clear knowledge

I have messed with these amps for years and never thought to look up what those knobs do lmao. Well explained and my sound is going to sound kickn after this

Thanks for doing the 4 channel amp👍 I currently have only been running mono block class D amps for subs . But I got tierd of my bass drowning out my mids and highs. So I got 4 DS 18pro tw120s for highs. And will be exchanging my door and rear deck mid range speakers next. But I was little nervous about setting the crossover for a 4 channel amp to run them. I've always only had a mono block amps. So thanks for the video. I feel more confident as to setting my amp now. Thanks man👊👍😎💯

Best crossover explanation so far on my learning journey. I’m a Dad that always wanted a decent car audio system- so I am living thru my oldest son (16 yr). Having a ton of fun learning for sure. Son has a 2005 Silverado crew cab. Thank you for this video.

Best explanation on youtube! Very beginner friendly. Great Job man

Watched both videos. Thank you, very informative. I’ve learned today

Dude your setup is one of the cleanest I've ever seen.

very well explained, thank you :)

this is the best amp tuning video ive ever seen, i understood every single thing!

Finally, found a video that explains what the output on an amp means. Thank you.

I'm not a beginner but thanks for the lesson👍

I’m a beginner and this was well explained. Thank you for sharing this. I subscribed as well.

I really appreciate your video, great explanation of how to tune amplifiers. Best I've seen!

Much better understanding between a MonoBlock vs 4 Channel amp, thank you so much

Thanks again bro...👍👍👍🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹...

Great video, I may have missed it, but how were you able to measure 80Hz on LPF? Just wondering how I would be able to measure the hz? Thank you so much

Best explanation ive seen so far for amp tuning.

U learn somethin new everyday I pretty good at tuning my amps to ear cause I’ve been doin this for 16 years but the way u broke this down was impeccable

Looks affordable

200hz for the mid and 2000hz for tweets sounds like a pro sound setup.Maybe that should be noted.Your great about how to setup though.

I'm so glad I watched this video it helped me out a lot.Thank you!

Amazing video! Explained everything really clear.

Thanks for another great video. Question for you is in regards to setting up LPF/HPF for a 4 channel amp when the deck has these options as well. Which do you set up? One or both? I assume if you set both up there could end up some loss as the deck reads what frequency to be sent and the amp reads another.

I have my equalizer to play certain frequencies

Hey man, I really appreciate the video man Thank you for taking the time to help us beginners. Right now, I'm running two 500-watt Zappos on 2 Memphis, twelve 12 600\1200. You don't know how hard I've been struggling with this. One reason is I just put a new Tesla style head unit in my car, and it has DSP. And I was really struggling with hz and crossovers and stuff like that. But that's about to change. I'm about to put 4 10s in my SUV. Cadillac. And I really want to upgrade my system all the way around the car. So im in the process of buying an amp and speakers now, like right now I'm gonna do the mid, the highs and everything. So, I've been studying a lot of videos, man, and you really explained it well. And I appreciate your time. Another one of my concerns is Upgrading my power in my car, like through batteries and. And The alternator I see that you have batteries set up. That was really nice. I've never seen that. But I have been checking into the batteries. They're definitely not cheap. Haha, I'm almost certain that you're running a bigger alternator than your OEM. So let's get basic right here. You Upgraded your power based off what you're actually running in your truck, like speaker. Amps Etcetera Etcetera? But this DSP that's built into this radio really giving me a lot of trouble. Bass is where it's not supposed to be. Too much base volume onn these speakers. Changing it when you turn on and off the radio. It's really getting on my nerves. I wish I could just take it off the radio. Maybe I can. I ask the guy. Alright, man, I tried to cover a lot. I would like to hear any feedback you would have. Thanks. Have a great day. Ohh yeah. I just learned a couple months ago about. How the gain is not a volume. Booster or bass booster. I did not know that all those years. Saying this because I'm going to watch your video. That you're talking about. about gain

Already knew all of this but i find these type of vids entertaining

I'd buy your AGM batts depending on shipping or if you're within a few hour driving distance of NE OH.

I got a 4 channel, 4 6½" mids and 2 tweeters. Can i use channels 1 and 2 for the tweets and channels 3 and 4 for all 4 mids?

man you dont know how much you helped me with my 4 channel i just bought.

At the same time watching your video as im tuning my amp.. lol that's how important it is to watch your video my brother. Well said.

12:40 4 channel setup

And I just want to say you are the first person I seen that actually took the time out and explained the levels on the amp I didn’t know how to do it until you said something step-by-step thank you have a great day stay safe

Awesome explanation on everything. Makes alot more sense. Great job 👏 👍

Thanks for your help man I'm learning a lot from your videos 👍👍

So glad I found this I had my amp so improperly tuned now that I tuned it the way you explained my system just pounds now got my bass boost on the amp right off now

Most detailed explanation. Thanks for the correct information.

I needed all of this bro THANK YOU!!!!

Love that you're more focused on sound than just boom boom

I always enjoy your videos you're awesome at explaining things

Beautifully explained.. finally! Thank you

Best vid ive seen explaining this stuff. Thanks bro

what a great explanation. now I understand a lot more than I use to. when I upgrade my speakers this info was definitely helpful. thanks man

Wow I'm actually glad I watched, I already knew and set my stuff up by ear but never knew how the bass boost works like you said most people mistake it for boosting all the bass which I understand now that it doesn't. Interesting about the bass knob thing too I have heard that you get a cleaner sound without it but I still use one

Dude, such a good explanation man. Somehow understand alot of it

oooh man thank you so much. Great video all around

Thank you for reaffirming what i felt was correct, excluding the db.

Never knew what the LPF was for 😂🤣 always heard to turn it all the way up, now subsonic i never really messed with it, but good thing I leave it to the pros. This video was extremely helpful though I really appreciate it

This the best video explaining this I’ve seen

Awesome job explaining it. Couldn't be more well done..

You deserve 2 thumbs up bro well explained

Great job and thank you because I’m trying to see where I need to set my gain and my bass boost

Best explanation about amp's knob function that is on RU-vid bro keep up the good works

New subscriber bro thank you for the dope video!

Great video man, thank you!

Although your amps are a bit fancier than what I'm using this is what I needed for a perfect tune!

Thank you. I am new to this. Easy explanation.

Bass Boost helps allow those who use sealed boxes. Without it my single 10 would be short and snappy which is great but it won't hit the low notes. So bringing that up just a tad on my CT-SOUNDS 1000.1D ran to a 1ohm wired duel 2ohm CT-SOUNDS Tropo 10in in a 3/4" mdf sealed enclosure and it allows me to hit those lower frequencies like a 12in Subwoofer could. Personally tested the differences between the two. Very pleased with the results in that situation. Completely understandable that it would not be needed for the majority who use vented, bandpass, and other forms of enclosure besides sealed.
